His father John BARNES (1780-1859) had been baptised at Wimborne Minster on 5th June 1780 the son of William Barnes and learned his trade at the hands of William Green a carpenter of Wimborne Minster as his name appears in the UK Register of Duties paid for Apprentices' Indentures on 16th July 1789.

John & Martha had another son they named John Barnes also baptised at Stour Provost on 24th March 1818. There is no other trace of the family in Stour Provost and I have not located Martha's death. John BARNES senior however is living on his own in Dorchester in St Peters Parish at South Walks in the June 1841 Census working as a builder and his age has been correctly placed into the 60 to 64 age band (i.e. born between 1777 & 1781). He was appointed churchwarden of St Peters Church in 1842 serving until 1847. By the 1851 Census John is living at the back of High West Street in Dorchester and now confirmed to be a widower born at Wimborne and running a succesful business as a builder employing 11 men. According to both Pigot's Directory of 1844 and Slater's directory for Dorchester of 1852 (under heading Carpenters & Builders) his business was actually located in South Street.

John BARNES filed for bankrupcy on 4th May 1857 and a lot of background concerning his business is contained in newspaper articles. Link to transcription in Southern Times & Dorset County Herald dated Sunday 30 May 1857 and Dorset County Chronicle for Thursday 19th Aug 1858. John BARNES was buried at Dorchester Civic Cemetery on 19th Oct 1859 recorded as from St Peters Parish when his age was given as being 82 (actually 79) .



Henry and Jane Joyce Barnes also appear in the June 1841 Census living in South Street. (Henry's age is in the 20 to 24 age band and his occupation that of an Architect ; Jane Barnes is in the 15 to 19 age band) They later had one child a son they named Walter Henry BARNES who was baptised at St Peters Church 21 Apr 1843 shortly before Jane Joyce BARNES nee Jacob (1823-1843) was buried on 4th May 1843 at the Civic Cemetery described as 20 years old and from St Peters parish -- probably died following complications following the birth of her son.

Henry Barnes remarried at Holy Trinity Church in Dorchester to Thera May Gilbert GARLAND on 25th Sep 1850. Walter Henry BARNES is shown in the 1851 Census for St Peters aged 8 years and living with his grandfather John BARNES again described as a Builder by trade.

In 1867 his father was appointed to St Marys Church Port Louis and Bishop of Mauritius and died there in June 1871. I have not been able to locate him in the 1871 Census so it's possible he had gone to Mauritius to help his mother see to his fathers affairs and her return to live at Newport Road Barnstaple in Devon by 18th June 1871.Clearly he was well educated and studied law as he next appears already working in Dorchester at the age of 28 in the April 1881 Census in lodgings at 6 High West Street.

28 Feb 1899 - Alfred RUSSELL aged 31 a bachelor son of James RUSSELL married Emma Mary GUY aged 34 a spinster daughter of John GUY

[Note:- Banns of marriage were read in his church of Holy Trinity and also St Peters on 12th, 19th and 26th Feb 1898. Alfred Russell was the son of James and Matilda Russell and born at Bere Regis in 1868. His father was a butcher by trade but also a farmer of 50 acres and the 1871 Census shows him aged 3 as the 7th of their 8 children. He grew up in Bere Regis, still there in 1881, but by 1891 he was working in Dorchester for Genge's Dept Store in High West Street employed as a drapers assistant. His bride Emma Mary GUY was the daughter of John & Anna GUY and had been baptised at St peters Church on 7th Sep 1864.

Alfred and Emma are in the 1901 Census living at No.7 St Helens Rd in St Peters Parish Dorchester. Alfred is now described as a manager (Tailors & Outfitters) aged 33 born at Bere Regis and Emma May aged 36 with their 9 month old daughter Majorie A.M Russell. So probably at this point still employed at Genges. Very soon after this he set up his own business as pictured in the 2nd postcard posted in 1907 in my collection of postcards about 'South Walks' . The 3rd card shows his business entrance in South Street with his window advertisement in the upstairs window where it states "A RUSSELL, Tailor and Breeches Maker" . From an article in the Dorset County Chronicle dated 20th Jan 1910, when he gave a character ref for one of his employees, he refers to having employed him for 7 years next March so it was up and running by March 1903. Unfortunately Alfred died and was buried at the Civic Cemetery 9Grave 1247) in 1914.
